Moral relativism entered Star Wars in The Empire Strikes Back, and it's been there ever since.  Yes, the original Star Wars was very black and white, but as soon as you reveal that the hero's father was a good Jedi who became evil, and that it's possible for him to be good again, you have moral relativism.
